Crytek Teases New Immolator Monster Coming to ‘Hunt: Showdown’
Crytek’s Hunt: Showdown is still humming along in Early Access with new features and fixes being added. One big update is a new monster by the name of Immolator, which you can check out briefly in a recent Twitch stream by Crytek.
No word on when this update with the Immolator will be live, but according to designer Bence Kovacs, you’ll be in for a challenge. The Immolator appears as a charred, walking corpse, screams a lot, and likes to blow stuff up.
When it detects movement it will charge, and when it’s shot or stabbed, it’ll burst into flames (You’ll be getting a new attachment for your mosin that allows you to melee it without being set on fire). Just to add to the scares, The Immolator can also open doors.
And yes, if you’re wondering if you can use the monster to your advantage to take out other hunters that are keen on taking your goodies, you can. As mentioned, The Immolator screams a lot, which can attract other enemies, and when burning he leaves a trail of fire that will ignite those monsters if they happen to walk into it.
As mentioned, there’s no word on when this update will hit, but for those on the test servers, you can expect it to show up soon.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
